It was supposed to be a surprise! He’s just testing the Copper Meditation Myramid that I got you for Christmas. I wanted him to see if the pipes were working OK.
This looks far too much like the frame for the Princess Barbie tent I had as a little girl. Shit. I had no idea it’d still be fun to hang out in as an adult.
Is anyone else reminded of the Jeanine Turner character from Northern Exposure who had rotten luck with boyfriends (they all died) and one was struck by a falling space satellite to the point where man and machine were so intertwined they had to bury him that way? Kind of looked like this.
Ok, so I googled “Meditation Pyramid” and I still don’t get it. Why does one NEED a pyramid to meditate in? Why does that pyramid seem claustrophobicly small and have no walls, only edges? Is this some sort of geometry class conspiracy?
Why must it be used in the supine position? If that dildo/bong/butt plug was attached properly to the top, there are lots of other positions I can envision its use in.
I don’t know anything about meditation gear (peppermill, forehead crystal, plumbing pyramid?), but I feel like he should be fully inside that thing. His knees are breaking the 3rd and 4th walls, and that seems wrong to me. Don’t get me wrong, he seems relaxed, but his knees look all tense and nervous.
And in the interest of full disclosure, there have been times in my youth when I took a metric shitload of acid and did things very similar to what that guy’s doing. But I was on acid- what’s his excuse?

Honey, that’s not the pepper mill. That’s my dildo.
October 7, 2012 at 3:26 pm
No, it’s not, sweetie. It’s the bong. My bad.
October 7, 2012 at 4:57 pm
Who stole my damn butt plug?
October 7, 2012 at 3:09 pm
I always suspected that Etsy was a pyramid scheme….
October 7, 2012 at 3:10 pm
I think my grandma has a rug like that.
October 7, 2012 at 4:30 pm
If hers comes with a youngish man on it, I stand in awe of her. Tell her we should talk.
October 7, 2012 at 4:33 pm
I knew it. You like your men the way you like your carpets: without piles.
October 7, 2012 at 5:29 pm
Slighty shaggy and flat on the floor.
October 8, 2012 at 2:57 am
Or taken out and beaten when they get dirty?
October 7, 2012 at 6:51 pm
At least he’s not wearing black sock, take what you can get for free!

That rug really ties the room together.

Aaaand I should’ve read the rest of the tread. Sorry, late to the party.
October 8, 2012 at 8:20 am
treadthreadI’ll just go sit in the corner now…
October 8, 2012 at 8:45 am
Don’t worry — with a pyramid, you get quite a few corners to choose from.
October 7, 2012 at 3:18 pm
Trying not to imagine what he uses for a sundial.
October 7, 2012 at 8:48 pm
I tried. I failed. Please pass the brain bleach.
October 7, 2012 at 10:42 pm
My brain went to Peter Flötner’s “Human Sundial”:

(Sorry for the long link, but if it’s from the British Museum, it must be legit… right?)

Damnit! http://snipurl.com/25889l7
October 8, 2012 at 12:44 pm
Of course this is German. How silly of me to even wonder.
October 7, 2012 at 3:20 pm
Aren’t they supposed to be doing this skyclad, in a field? Or are bad Hawaiian shirts and jeans de rigeur for mystical ceremonies now?

Restorative Yoga never looked so unpleasant.

“Honey, the plumber is passed out in the living room – again.”
October 7, 2012 at 3:54 pm

October 7, 2012 at 5:42 pm
It doesn’t look like that much fun.
October 7, 2012 at 7:37 pm
Add in drugs and it’s basically Disneyland for fluffy Pagan types.
October 8, 2012 at 9:20 am
Us non fluffy pagan types HATE this shit.
October 7, 2012 at 4:14 pm
Does it break the magic if your knees stick out the sides like that?
Or does it at least prevent your knees from getting the healing powers?
October 7, 2012 at 4:54 pm
That’d explain how every plumber I’ve ever interacted with seems to have bad knees. I always figured it was from all the jumping over things.
October 8, 2012 at 8:15 am
All he had to do was scoot back a foot or so! His head has plenty of room! He’s not centered!
I have plenty of feels about this!
October 7, 2012 at 4:40 pm
I’m pretty sure that’s Kevin Murphy of MST3k.
October 7, 2012 at 4:47 pm
I wonder if that guy takes his pyramid where he goes and just randomly lies down somewhere in public and suddenly begins meditating.
October 7, 2012 at 5:07 pm
pyramiding is the new fad, taking over planking and teapotting.
October 7, 2012 at 7:27 pm
yeah, that is what I was thinking, he may be starting a cool new fad! We just think he is crazy, but this dude might be seriously onto something.
October 7, 2012 at 5:06 pm
If that guy charges anything like the plumber from our home renovation, than that really is a $25,000 Pyramid.

That Show was Awesome, wasn’t it? Sure wish they’d revive that one on Netflix. I wonder if they respond to petitions.

You can only see the walls if you are enlightened.
October 7, 2012 at 10:31 pm
This just might show us “the way.” http://www.merlinsrealm.com/pyramid-power.htm
October 8, 2012 at 4:53 pm
“Brine shrimp would live three times their normal life span if they spent their entire life within a pyramid.”
Do they have data on this?
October 8, 2012 at 4:55 pm
Also: “All of our pyramids can be worn on the head for meditation purposes.”
I totally want to see this with tinfoil.
October 7, 2012 at 6:36 pm
I want to rush into a Cathedral and plead for “Psychic Sanctuary”.
October 7, 2012 at 7:04 pm
“And I really liked that rug man.”
“Yeah, it really tied the room together.”
October 7, 2012 at 7:24 pm
I can’t imagine that I could even go into a meditative state laid out on the floor uncomfortably like that… though, if I had enough beers, maybe…
October 7, 2012 at 8:45 pm
Crochet – you have won me over with this post.
October 8, 2012 at 5:36 am

hey, what do you know… something on Esty that’s NOT overpriced!
Stupid, but not overpriced.

October 8, 2012 at 7:05 pm
Do you have any reason to think he’s NOT on acid? Aside from the fact that he’s crawled inside a copper piping pyramid with a peppermill?
October 8, 2012 at 10:16 am
October 8, 2012 at 11:14 am
I keep looking at this guy and swearing “I have seen him before.” except he’s in Colorado and I’m in Connecticut.
Unless he’s using the pyramid to become someone else I know…
October 9, 2012 at 2:13 pm
So that’s why my plumber did not fix my pump on Sunday. The lazy SOB was in someone else’s living room with his equipment propping up a pyramid leg.
